House ratifies bill extending terms of office of barangay, SK officials
The Senate has ratified a bicameral conference committee report that will extend the term of barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials to four years.
This extension is a move from their previous three-year term.
Under the new provision, barangay officials can serve a maximum of three consecutive terms in the same position.
SK officials, however, will be limited to only one term in their position.
The report also postpones the 2025 Barangay and SK Elections from December 2025 to the first Monday of November 2026.
